Ratchet

June 4, 2008 Animated, Deluxe, Toy Reviews No Comments

Alright, protoforms, listen up. It’s time to do a review on Animated Ratchet, so tune your sensors in, ’cause he’s not gonna let me do this twice.

In vehicle mode, Ratched is… disappointingly tiny. He’s about the same size as Bumblebee, and that just isn’t right. Ambulances should be a bit bigger than a puny yellow compact. But moving past that, he’s actually pretty nice in vehicle mode. He’s got sleek lines, fairly complete paint applications in the necessary red and white scheme, and pretty good proportions. Like all of the Animated figures, he’s definitely got the Animated style down pat, so it’s a fairly simplistic/cartoony vehicle mode, but that suits me just fine. Read the rest…

Funny little note

May 31, 2008 Site News No Comments

So, tonight I got Ratchet, which means I’ve got the core cast of Autobots from Animated. Naturally, I want a group shot. So I finally built a light tent (haven’t checked the images to see how they turned out [edit: they turned out terrible, more work is needed to get camera-wise]), and set them up to take some pictures. Shooting one of them, Bulkhead fell over and tore a hole in the dollar store tissue paper I used for the sides.

What an oaf.
